Though CD Projekt is planning on releasing The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kingswithout DRM, it does not mean they plan on taking piracy of their upcoming RPG sequel lightly. Eurogamer has word that their plan is to attempt to "fine" those who pirate the game. "Of course we're not happy when people are pirating our games, so we are signing with legal firms and torrent sneaking companies," CD Projekt co-founder Marcin Iwiński tells them. "In quite a few big countries, when people are downloading it illegally they can expect a letter from a legal firm saying, 'Hey, you downloaded it illegally and right now you have to pay a fine.' We are totally fair, but if you decide you will not buy it legally there is a chance you'll get a letter. We are talking about it right now."

I'll be the first to admit that I haven't always been above board when it comes to acquiring software. However, over the last few years the vast majority of titles I've had the privilege to play have been. I've gone from trying it on day zero to either purchasing day zero of if unsure waiting a week or two for reviews. I don't know what started this change in me, it gradually happened as time went along. Perhaps it is just a mature look at a field? Piracy is now something I don't do.
